ABSTRACT
Objective:To explore effects of early rehabilitation nursing on aged patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) complicated myocardial infarction (MI) .Methods :A total of 280 aged DM + MI patients in our hospital were se‐lected .According to random number table ,they were randomly divided into routine nursing group (n=140) and early rehabilitation nursing group (n=140) ,and nursing effects were compared between two groups .Results:Com‐pared with before nursing ,there were significant reductions in levels of fasting blood glucose (FBG) ,2h postprandi‐al blood glucose (2hPBG) and glycosylated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) after nursing in both groups , P< 0.05 all;compared with routine nursing group ,there were significant reductions in levels of FBG [ (7.9 ± 1.1) mmol/L vs . (6.8 ± 1.0) mmol/L] ,2hPBG [(9.9 ± 1.4) mmol/L vs .(8.7 ± 1.1) mmol/L] and HbA1c [(7.9 ± 0.7)% vs .(6.9 ± 0.8)% ] ,and significant rise in all item scores of quality of life and total satisfaction (85.0% vs .93.6% ) in early rehabilitation group , P< 0.05 all .Compared with routine nursing group ,there was significant reduction in inci‐dence rate of major adverse cardiovascular events (20.0% vs .9.3% ) within six-month follow-up in early rehabil‐itation nursing group , P<0.05. Conclusion:Early rehabilitation nursing could significantly reduce blood glucose lev‐el ,improve quality of life and satisfaction for nursing in aged DM + MI patients ,which is worth further extension .
